FRANKFURT 0-0 BAYERN

Wary of Bayern’s lethal attacking line-up, Frankfurt’s game plan was clear from the off: sit deep, close down the spaces and be aggressive in the tackle. It was very effective for the most part and they reduced their visitors to sporadic sightings of goal, with Arturo Vidal’s close-range header from Arjen Robben’s cross in the 11th minute the closest they went to opening the scoring in an intensely-fought first half.

Man of the match

Bayern had scored in every competitive match this season – until their visit to the Commerzbank Arena. It was not through a lack of trying either, but largely down to Frankfurt centre-half Carlos Zambrano. The Peruvian put in a towering display to keep the visitors at bay, expertly marshalling Robert Lewandowksi in and around the box to secure a clean sheet.

Talking point

Having seemingly set records in every game this season en route to winning all ten of their opening league matches, Bayern dropped points for the first time in 2015/16.
